Situation existing is contaminated drywall around some windows and below some skylights that have leaked in the past.
Result is some type of white mold bloom - a powdery white organic substance - growing around some cracks in the corners of the window returns and other places. I've been told that this drywall (wet wall really) has been replaced in the past but the mold continues. Doesn't seem to spread (or if so very slowly) just covers an 3" or 4" area in some creases and corners and literally blooms out in a white fluff.
I know for a fact that the leaks have been stopped so I'm guessing that the mold is just an active culture. Don't know anything else.
I'm guessing that if I remove the infected drywall and use some type of mold kill on the wood behind and areas around the infection that I should then be able to redrywall and never see the mold again. This assumes that the area behind is dry and not continuing to be a suitable base for mold to be active. I'm planning on let it dry out for several months to be sure it is dry after I treat the areas and before I add new drywall.
• Anyone no more specifically what I'm up against?
• What to use to kill the mold?
• If I'm analyzing the problem correctly?
Thanks for any advice.
